WEATHER STRIP FOR WINDOWS OR DOORS Filed June 11. 1931 Inventor UrEPfiE/v LIMA/4W prnopm A llorney Patented Oct. 18, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFics This invention relates to new and useful im rovements in weather strips for doors,

wi ows and the like.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a weather strip which will at all times form a weather tight joint between a window and its frame or a door and its frame or between any two parts in connection with which the weather strip is employed.

It is a further object of the invention so to construct a device of this character that the weather strip contacts with the parts with which it engages under pressure, thus insuring a tight joint between the weather strip and that member which it engages.

It is a stillfurther object of the invention so to construct a weather strip of the above mentioned character that it may be securely retained in position without the use of sepa rate fastening means such'as screws, bolts or the like.

It is a further object of the invention so to constructa weather strip of the aforementioned character that it ma be attached to windows of various sizes wit in certain limits without necessitating special fitting thereof.

With the above and other objects in view, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing in which;

Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a window of the easement type showing a weather strip constructed in accordance with the resent invention' attached thereto,

F1 re 2 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 2'2 of .Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view showin a slightly modified form of the invention and illustrating the weather strip carried by the window sash frame instead of the window frame, and;

Fi re 4 is a detail view in section of the weat er strip.

Referring more specifically to the drawing, the reference character A desi ates a window frame, and B designates the window sash frame, thewindow in this particular embodiment of the invention being of the casement t The rame A consists of a web portion 10 :.0 having oppositely extended flanges 11 and 12 the flan 11 projecting downwardl around a shoul er 13 of the $111 and the ange 12 rojecting upwardly as best illustrated in igures 1 and 3. [The sash frame B com- 811888 a web portion 15 having a depending 65 ange 16 and an upstanding flange 17 the latter receiving the window pane 18 with a suitable sealing medium such as 19 interposed therebetween.

The weather stri consists of a channel 60 member Chaving a ottom wall 20 and two side flanges 21 and 22. Formed integral with the side flange 21, there is a resilient member 23 which extends inwardly of the channel and has its inner edge rolled to form a 05 bead 24. This bead 24 is adapted under certain 0 rating conditions to be received within a c annel 25 formed in the inner base of the wall 21 of the channel member C as will be hereinafter described. m

Projecting from the wall 22 of the channel member C and preferably formed integral therewith, there is a resilient member '26 and upon the free end of this resilient member 26, there is a channel member 27 composed of a bottom wall 28 and side walls 29 and 30. Mounted in this channel member 28 there is a weather strip 32 which may be of felt or other suitable material and which is retained in position against accidental disgo placement by a flange or the like 33 formed on'the extremity of the wall 29 of the channel member 27. v

Whenthe deviceis employed asillustrated in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing, the channel member .0 is adapted to receive the upstanding flange 12 of the window frame. When it is inserted over the upstanding flange 12 of the window frame A,-the resilient member 23 is placed under tension and its bead'24 occupies a position in the channel or recess 25 in the wall 21- of the channel C. The resiliency of this member serves to mamtain the device in position upon the window frame. In this form of the invention the o5 window when moved to its closed sition, enga the weather strip 32 and exes the mem r 26 placing it under tension and thus insuring that the weather strip at all t1mes engages all portions of the window frame 100.

when the window sash is in closed sition thus insuring a weather tight joint tween the several parts.

In that form of the invention illustrated in Figure 3, the weather strip is attached to the window sash and its operation is substantially the same in that as the sash is moved to closed position the weather strip will engage the depending flange 11 of the window frame and form a tight joint therewith the member 26 being placed under tension.

Corner pieces 40 are employed for the purpose of providing a finish to the window, and to cover up irregularities in the bend or 'oints between the side and end members. he corner pieces are of substantially right angular form, and consist of channel members ada. ted to receive in their legs the channel mem rs C heretofore mentioned.

When the invention has been herein illustrated in a referred form, it is to be understood that t e invention is not to be limited to the specific construction herein shown and that it may be racticed in other forms without departing rom the spirit thereof.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and what it is desired to secure by Letters 1 mm of the United States, 18;

1. A weather strip for window and door 0 nings comprising a resilient channel s aped clip member adapted to removably engage a portion. of a door or window construction, a resilient portion formed integral with one of the side walls of said clip member, said resilient portion bein arran d exteriorly of the clip member an norm ly spaced therefrom to permit movement of the resilient rtion relative to the clip member, and a member carried by and resilient portion.

2. A weather strip for windows or doors comprising a channel shaped resilient memher adapted to embrace the member to which the weather strip is to be attached, a reinforced resilient means carried by one of the walls of said channel shaped member and projecting into the channel, said channel bemg adapted to receive said reinforced resilient member, an adjustable resilient member carried by the other wall of said channel shaped member, means formed on said adjustable resilient member for a weather strip, and a weather strip mounte in said means.

In testimon whereof I afiix m si ature.
